In 2023, the first monthly review came late

Miscellaneous Account#
With the relaxation at the end of 2022, not only did the number of vehicles on the road increase, but the number of people on the streets also increased, just like the saying goes:
Life used to be slow, but now it's bustling.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, my mind was completely relaxed and focused on the holiday. After completing the tasks that needed to be delivered, I submitted my leave application early. I took 5 days of annual leave during the Spring Festival, plus the 2 days of the weekend and the Spring Festival itself, making a total of 14 days of Spring Festival holiday. It's great (^▽^)😄! In the past few years, due to the epidemic, more people chose to stay at home for the New Year, resulting in many people not going home for the New Year for 3 years. With the relaxation of policies and the early arrival of the Spring Festival this year, more and more people have embarked on the journey home. The feeling of crowdedness during the Spring Festival travel rush has reappeared.
After returning home, time passed quickly, and a series of New Year's activities followed. Before the New Year, we did a thorough cleaning of the house (the whole family was busy cleaning the inside and outside of the house all day), bought couplets, visited the flower street (bought New Year flowers on New Year's Eve and decorated the house with red), had a family reunion dinner (must have leftovers, symbolizing abundance every year 😂), went to the temple to pray on the first day of the lunar year (praying for the health of the whole family in the new year), took a long walk in Shunfeng Mountain Park (the first day of the Lunar New Year is considered a lucky day for people from Guangdong), watched the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" with the family (in a 120-frame CINITY IMAX theater, it was a completely new visual and auditory experience, but the ticket price was really expensive, 80 yuan per ticket, but I still recommend watching it in CINITY for a different viewing experience), went around and explored near home (spent a day at the zoo), and spent endless time lying down (an essential activity during the Spring Festival 😄). It seems like we did a lot, but there weren't many unexpected things (like traveling far away, etc.), so this year's Spring Festival didn't have any special memories. It went by in a daze, O (∩_∩) O 哈哈～，I will strive to have a better Spring Festival next year. Below are some photos taken during this month to commemorate the occasion.
Newly purchased Switch game - Splatoon 3, it changes my previous impression of shooting games. The winning point is not to kill the enemy, but to calculate the area covered by the ink sprayed by the opponent. It feels good to play, I recommend it.

During these days at home, I also updated my information flow and workflow. For example, I switched from Notion to Obsidian as my note-taking software, and changed my text input source from Reeder 5 to Readwise Reader. I am also working hard to switch the main source of videos from Bilibili to YouTube, and I switched my audio source app from Xiaoyuzhou to Pocket Casts. I will summarize my input and output flow after my information flow stabilizes in the future.

- "The Three-Body Problem" - Reading... Recently, there has been a lot of hype about Liu Cixin, whether it's the Spring Festival blockbuster "The Wandering Earth 2" or the TV series "The Three-Body Problem," which have presented a very good impression of Chinese science fiction. So it's necessary to take some time to read the original work.
🎬 Movies, TV Shows#
Total number of movies: 3, TV shows: 1
- Movies:
Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, the king of this year's Spring Festival, it stands out among many movies in terms of visuals and plot. Personally, I think it's worth watching, especially in a CINITY theater.
Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️, the combination of comedy and suspense doesn't seem to fit very well, and the recitation of "Man Jiang Hong" at the end seems a bit abrupt. I don't recommend it, but I don't understand why it has the highest box office.
Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️, the colors are very bright, but a bit too bright, and the plot is a bit depressing. After watching it, I didn't feel very comfortable, so it's important to laugh more in life. The earth is still beautiful.
- TV show:
Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, Song Hye Kyo's acting is really good. She decides to take revenge under the shadow of campus violence, and everything is planned by her. The moments of successful revenge are so satisfying. I recommend it and look forward to the second season.
🎤 Podcasts#
This month, I listened to podcasts for a total of 33 hours and 12 minutes. I thought I would listen to fewer podcasts during the Spring Festival at home, but I ended up listening for 33 hours. The podcast I listened to the most this month was "ByteTalk," which tells the stories of some programmers and previous episodes of blogs.
Podcasts that I think are pretty good:
